Thanks! Yes the vultr high frequency cpus are much faster than the regular ones. I'd also be interested in seeing the Hetzner EPYC plans.

Wouldn't you use a CDN for the video? Or is it for realtime video chat or sth like that. Anyway it sounds like australia may be a sticking point. I wonder why Vultr/etc. don't support GeoDNS. It's not that complicated to add on, I'd hope.
-
I didn't understand what GeoDNS was until reading about it just now. I just thought it meant setting up anycast routing so that client queries would tend to go to a nearby server. It instead means the DNS server itself uses a GeoIP database to gue…

(Quote) I thought the way anycast works is that if an endpoint goes down, the route to it fails (how?) and the next lowest cost route gets the query. DO has free DNS for subscribers but it's not clear if they have anycast: https://www.digitalocean.…

Ok fair enough, I didn't realize there were so many nextcloud guides, particularly for nextcloud talk (voice/video chat). I guess I should find one. I had crappy luck a year or so ago but maybe it is better now. Here are a few other ideas: * Set…

(Quote) I see, so this wouldn't really be a coding guide then: I figure anyone using (e.g.) a scraping tutorial already has to know some basic coding, and to do that they must already be ok on installing Python. It's still ok, it just means scrapin…

Thanks. I'd feel more comfortable if you posted what you expected to pay. I also wouldn't feel right about taking your money before the site is generating revenue. And if you want exclusive use of the materials, then I'd have to charge way more t…
-
Where is budget for this coming from? What amount of publishing exclusivity would you want? I'm a strong Python coder with good knowledge of a few specialized topics, and interest in learning a few other topics. It has occurred to me that decidin…

No idea if https://solidinvoice.co/ is any good, but it is available as a 1-click install on DO so that's how I found out about it.
-
I feel like I should figure out how to use k8s but by all indications it is bloody complicated. Didn't people use LXC for that stuff not so long ago? Was Docker basically LXC with a branding sticker? Is k8s better somehow? Added: it looks like d…

(Quote) Can you run it on the dev instances? OVH Public Cloud has it at lower starting prices than the Scaleway GP instances: https://www.ovhcloud.com/en-ie/public-cloud/kubernetes/
-
Wow, even the large GP instances went up. They aren't so clueful. No mention of the bare metal instances which were more interesting than the GP's anyway. The C1 is discontinued, no longer offered and the existing ones will be shut off pretty soo…

I think we've already been through this: outcome is that the segment most affected (resellers) moved away from the product, and others shrugged at the small price increase. I fooled around with VestaCP briefly just to see what it was like, but I th…

(Quote) Well sure, they tell people that, but they actually picked the location Helsinki in Helena's honor. The next one will be in Kathmandu, Nepal so they can call it KAT, after Katie ;). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wd3Mt8JBBBg

(Quote) They named the new data center after Helena! That's really nice to recognize her like that! Very cool.

I've been using bare metal dedis for a while and haven't found them much different than VPS. If something goes wrong with the hardware (and this is happened), I put in a ticket and DC ops fix it. Single tenant VDS is mostly of interest for things …
-
I tried DA and I like the idea on principle, but I can see why some users might prefer cpanel. DA doesn't seem nearly as slick, and it's an end user product so that sort of thing matters. SolusVM is less end-user-y and as far as I know, none of th…

Got any large HDD's available as upgrades?
-
Yeah I got a couple inquiries and then I remembered that transferring kimsufis is not really possible, especially if they were on promo like this one was.
-
Thanks, yeah, I'm not all that conversant with this stuff and wanted to confirm that "bring your own IP" actually meant bring a routable block. How long is this beta happening? If you'll have me, I might be interested in giving it a try …
-
If you want a kimsufi with disks, I have a KS-2E(?) at Roubaix (4gb ram, 2x 2tb drives) at 8.95€/m that I'm thinking of cancelling, since I'm just using it for old long-term backups and I want to move those to the new C14.

Order page: https://www.firstheberg.com/fr/serveur-dedie-intel-atom-configuration Appears to be a 2 core atom with your choice of 128gb ssd or 500gb hdd, 4gb ram, 100mbps network, 5.5€/m after the discount. So more like a bottom end Kimsufi. Nice…
-
(Quote) Does that mean the person has to bring a /24 (ipv4) or /48(?)(v6) since that's the smallest routable block? Or am I misunderstanding what the product does. Thanks.
-
(Quote) This sounds great! Basically as good as a vps for most purposes, I should think. I imagine using it to host a small distributed database segment, serve some static files, that sort of thing. Thanks!
-
(Quote) The issue isn't the tunnel protocol itself, but rather the introduction of more unreliability and network latency by having to route from the anycast endpoint to the destination server over additional internet hops. That's why my hope is to…
-
(Quote) Thanks. It seems unfortunate if the last hop (from the anycast network to the destination server) has to be over the internet. It would be more attractive if that hop could be over a LAN, which means the GRE endpoint and the destination se…

I don't quite understand this product: do you have VPS or dedicated servers available at the endpoints? I'm glad to see more anycast products at the relatively low end, though this is outside my price range for personal projects.
